Come on. Hindsight is wonderful but only three forwards had scored more than 15 goals the season prior to being picked by Vegas. Who are your “legit” scorers from that expansion draft? Neal, Marchessault, and Perron? At the time nobody was scared of that trifecta.

If Seattle finds success in its first season will be the result of a good systems and solid coaching just like Vegas’. Time will tell.

Seattle had 1 forward play 17 minutes, 3 forwards play 16 minutes per game last season. 5 @ 14 minutes a game.

Some of them with increased ice time will see a rise in production, added PP time.

When you say “getting over the hump” does that mean winning a cup?
- bloatedhefty

Yes, that is usually the end goal is to win the cup.

lol you do know its there in black and white. It's an archived site. Lol even Ruby said you did.

No, Reubenkincade did not say he did. You are again mistaken on what I implied.
No surprise there.

Trades can't be announced yet apparently.

"Any trades Seattle may have in the hopper will be finalized and announced after the trade freeze is lifted at 1 pm ET Thursday. And I suspect there will be a few over the coming days.

Makes sense. Capfriendly tweeted something that was wrong I guess.

Yes, I understand how the internet works. It isn’t there, you’re a moron.

How does the internet work?

There is one thing about Vegas that I think has stopped them from getting over the hump. They don't have a legit #1 centre. They haven't been able to get one.

Glass was a fail.

Wonder if Seattle runs into the same problem. There isn't a legit one in this draft. A very good one in Beniers might be available.

Beniers looks like a Kraken pick 👍

There’s a net, and you see, some inter happens, and anything you (or I) inters into the net gets stuck there, for like, ever. The internet remembers.

For clarification (maybe not you)

Seattle made no expansion draft trades but will makes trades with other teams tomorrow. Players they will be flipping.

Other option is a scoring winger.

What are you even going on about here? You just took what I said from a minor thing to full Karen.

Did I just send you into a full on mental breakdown?

Maybe that Olesiak contract is actually Benning's deal.

LOL why so embarrassed about your posts on Krak assigning Lind to Abby? To dig up your tidbits, how about an AVI/Location bet?

There was another poster, under a different name that just carried on, and on and on, similar to yourself.

Obviously, you are not that same guy, but, when someone acts like you and talks like you, it is you.

I watched Dangle and some other guy talk about all the picks.

Wasn't the best.
